> This is content from just-tim, the data-and-analytics channel by Tim Ngwena (formerly 'Tableau Tim'). Tim has 12+ years of hands-on BI experience and covers Tableau most of all, plus Power BI, Looker, Hex, SQL and data modelling, the analytics industry, and the craft of doing the job — always tool-agnostic and honest about the trade-offs.

I show a small new feature in Tableau 2021.1: the ability to drag and drop headers when editing in the browser via Web Edit on Tableau Online and Tableau Server. I demonstrate reordering both date headers and category headers in a Superstore table.

## Key takeaways

- You can now drag and drop headers directly in the browser when web editing in Tableau 2021.1
- You need the right permissions or licence type to see the Edit option in the top right of a published view
- The drag separator behaves just like Tableau Desktop, working on column headers and row categories alike
- Each incremental browser improvement moves Tableau closer to not needing the desktop version at all
